Welcome to the website where you can find answers for the CES test on the «Deck Management Seismic Survey». This site will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of open information, where you can find questions as well as answers for them. CES based on practical information and marine specialists experience.
CES tests developed for evaluating seaman basic knowledge by Seagull Company (rebranded as «OTG»), is an evaluating online-tool, used for revealing any professional preparation needed in specific fields of knowledge, defined by STCW.
Version: 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0.0.
Test type: STCW.
Department: Deck.
Level: Management.
Vessel type: Seismic Survey.
CES tests have proven themselves as good tools for the selection and recruitment process, as well as advancing the level of knowledge of the current officers and crew. Ocean Technologies Group use various subjects for question creation, which includes:
Crowd and Crisis Management;
Integrated Navigation System (INS);
Ballast water management;
Handling and Stowage;
Vessel operation management and safety;
Marine engineering;
Maintenance and repair, etc.
«Deck Management Seismic Survey» subject includes theoretical and practical information about safety working with electrical equipment. Knowledge of this information directly shows employee’s competence who holds a relevant post on a vessel. Deck management and seismic survey duties are crucial for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of seismic data acquisition operations at sea. Here are some of the main responsibilities and tasks involved in deck management and seismic survey duties. Seismic survey team should plan and execute seismic surveys according to the project specifications, including the selection of survey lines and the positioning of seismic sources and receivers. They also monitor the quality of seismic data as it is being acquired, and make adjustments to survey parameters as needed to optimize data quality.
This page contains answers to Seagull CES (Crew Evaluation System) test about Deck Management Seismic Survey, and serve as a database of questions and answers, using which seafarer can prepare to exams for getting certificate of competence, or just to challenge yourself with knowledge in this theme.
